Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

"The damned one finally woke up. Old lady, wipe the blood off her head, or else she will be sold at a low price when the prostitutes come."

After listening to her mother-in-law's instructions, Liu Sun reluctantly twisted her fat body and walked slowly towards the main room, picking up the rag for wiping the table.

When he came back, the rag was thrown directly on Xia Shengsheng.

When my eyes met Xia Shengsheng's dark eyes, my heart shuddered for a moment!

Eyes immediately drifted away.

Liu Yiyi looked at the dirty rag and threw it aside angrily, then used her relatively clean sleeve to gently wipe Xia Shengsheng's wound.

"Mom, does it hurt?"

"mother……"

Some people who couldn't stand it squeezed in from the crowd watching the excitement outside.

He lifted up Xia Shengsheng's body and checked the hole on her forehead that was still bleeding.

"Ouch! Seriously, such a big bloody hole, I don't know if it can be cured."

"Let's ask Doctor Zhao from the end of the village to come over! He has to take a look first!"

The two women supporting Xia Shengsheng were the two daughters-in-law of carpenter Li Youcai.

The Li family originally lived in the middle of the village. This is the entrance of the village, and you can't hear anything from such a distance.

It happened that the two men had just come down from the mountain, carrying some wild vegetables they had just picked.

Seeing so many people gathered in front of Lao Liu's house, I squeezed in to take a look.

"Maodan, you're quick, go and invite him!"

Li Youcai's eldest daughter-in-law saw the village boy Maodan standing outside, so she told him to run over directly, and she could also invite Doctor Zhao over quickly!

Maodan agreed obediently, squeezed out of the crowd flexibly, and ran towards the end of the village.

"Humph! Mind your own business..."

Just as Old Lady Liu was about to utter a few ungrateful words, she was stopped by her eldest daughter-in-law, Liu Sun.

Liu Sun glanced at the people on the ground, then quietly leaned over to Old Lady Liu's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Mom, let them go and do some simple work on the second son's wife. It will be easier to sell her to the traffickers later. Anyway, we didn't hire Old Man Zhao, so if he wants money later, he shouldn't ask us for it, don't you think?"

Old Mrs. Liu thought it made sense and nodded slightly, but she felt annoyed when she saw the people surrounding her in circles outside.

"What are you all watching? You guys are free, so just go do whatever you need to do. Do you think I need your help with my family's affairs?"

It is the busy farming season now, and the people at home are actually women and children. Although it is difficult to interfere in other people's affairs, it is human nature to watch the fun, and it is not something that can be driven away by just a few words from Old Lady Liu.

"Make way, is this the old Liu family from Kaoshan Village? Why are there so many people gathered here?"

Originally, no one wanted to move aside, but suddenly a shrill voice was heard from outside.

Everyone looked back curiously!

An old lady with gray hair but still charming appearance just got off a carriage.

Her hair was tied into an exquisite bun, and there were even several golden hairpins inserted in her head. Although her face was full of wrinkles, she cleverly covered them with rouge and powder, making her whole face look more rosy and charming.

Even the way they dress is very particular.

If we hadn't heard her voice, we would probably have thought she was the lady of some wealthy family.

But as soon as she spoke, her identity was revealed.

As she slowly approached, the smell of rouge became pungent.

They asked everyone to make way for them!

"Hey! Mother Qian, you're here, please come in!"

When Old Lady Liu saw Mother Qian coming, she was as enthusiastic as an old sister she hadn't seen for many years.

If you don’t know, you might think that this is a serious relative coming to visit.

"Your house is too remote, it's really hard to find. Why are there so many people gathered here? What's going on? Do you have women and maids to sell?"

Mother Qian was not a respectable human trafficker at all. She merely bought some women and children from the nearby town of Murakami and sent them to brothels in several nearby cities to make a profit from the difference between the purchase and the sale.

Anyone who is taken away by her will be in trouble for the rest of his life.

"Bah... I thought you were all with the Liu family! Who would sell off their daughter-in-law, grandchildren, or daughters? Only your family sells off people!"

Li Youcai's daughter-in-law is also a person with a sharp tongue. She really sneers at Qian's mother who has just arrived.

Others were also sighing. No one had expected that Old Lady Liu would sell her daughter-in-law and granddaughter to such a person. They cursed her hundreds of times in their hearts, but few actually spoke out loud.

After all, if it doesn't involve their own interests, how many people would stand up for others?

"Hmph! You are so arrogant. You look like this. Even if you have a daughter, she won't be very pretty. I don't want her even if she's given to me for free, let alone begging me to buy her."

Mother Qian didn't want to waste any more time talking to the village woman in front of her, so she quickly went to see Old Lady Liu before Li Youcai's second daughter-in-law got angry!

"Where are the people? Could it be these people on the ground? Let me take a closer look."

Mother Qian looked left and right at Xia Shengsheng and her daughter as if she was looking at a lamb to be slaughtered.

"Hey. How come there's a bloody hole on his face? Can it be healed? And these two little ones, this is different from what you told me yesterday? The one lying there is not dead, is it? And you still want to sell it to me for ten taels of silver, are you trying to fool me?"

Xia Shengsheng leaned on Li Youcai's eldest daughter-in-law and didn't say a word. She was slowly accumulating strength.

She tried her best to protect herself and her original children for a while.

Old Mrs. Liu smiled and pulled Mother Qian aside!

"Oh, my mother Qian! I would never deceive anyone but you! Don't look at the serious wound on my daughter-in-law's head, it only looks scary and will heal in a few days.

The younger one was fine too. He just had a slight cold, nothing serious. And it was mainly because he was too sleepy that he lay there and didn't get up.

But don't worry, if you haven't seen the appearance of the mother and her two children, you won't find any better than the ones in my family even if you search the whole village. You will definitely not lose out if you buy them for ten taels of silver."

Xia Shengsheng is indeed good-looking, and her children are also good-looking, although they look a little thin. However, if they are raised well, they will be much stronger than the average people in the village.

"A middle-aged woman and two little brats who can't do anything, and they are all sick. I don't know if I can support them if I buy them back! Not to mention ten taels of silver, I won't buy them even for five taels of silver."

People who do this business are used to bargaining.

Mother Qian's eyes were really sharp, even if Xia Shengsheng's face was covered in blood, she could still tell that he had a good face, and as for the wound on his head, even if it didn't heal well, it wouldn't be a big deal if he covered it with his hair, it just looked older.

The remaining two little ones look pale and thin, but their eyebrows and facial features are good. If they are raised well, they will definitely be beauties when they grow up.

Even if only one can stay in the end, this business will definitely not lose money.

"Mother Qian, we have already agreed on this, you can't do this, can you?"

Old Lady Liu looked at the people on the ground and felt that she was indeed in the wrong. She sighed and hardened her heart.

"Eight taels, Qian Mama, I want eight taels. You take the three of them away. When they are well-raised, they will surely make you a lot of money."
